Women’s Retreat

Calling all “Wilderness Women” to join us at Brethren Woods on March 20^th-21^st for our 2026 Women’s Retreat! During this overnight (or day) retreat experience, women (age 16+) will leave our everyday “wildernesses” to gather “in the wilderness” at camp where God meets and transforms us. We’ll explore the Biblical images of wilderness and be inspired by wilderness stories from the Old and New Testaments. Together, we’ll seek and find what we need to be “Wilderness Women” today - facing our challenges and navigating life’s wildernesses with God’s Spirit as our guide. Throughout the weekend, we will enjoy fabulous food and tasty treats, lift our voices in worship, participate in personal reflection time, do crafts, get outside, and share encouragement, fellowship, and fun with other sisters in Christ. (It’s like being God’s grown-up girl scouts!)

Ladies can arrive anytime after 4pm on Friday. Dinner will be served from 5:30-6:00pm and our first session starts at 6:30pm. Our time together will end around 4pm on Saturday.

Britnee Linton comes to us from the Mid Atlantic District. Britnee graduated from Bethany Seminary in 2015, worked at Shepherd’s Spring Outdoor Ministry Center for two years, then ventured into c-pastoral ministry with her husband for six years. She is on her own walk through the wilderness having left her co-pastor position at Union Bridge Church of the Brethren in November to explore where the Spirit is leading her as her ministry journey continues. Britnee walks this journey with her husband Scott and two children, Simon (4) and Liana (7). Her family recently added a puppy to the family which has added quite the adventure to their lives over the last two months. She is extremely excited to spend the weekend with the amazing women who are able to attend as we seek the Light of Christ together.
